Hiya,

I have a couple of questions regarding NetBackup 3.4 (running on Solaris).

OK, the first is - what should your operator do when removing tapes from
netbackup and putting in the safe? Do people duplicate tapes, move them into
volume groups for particular days? - do operators generally use the GUI
interface rather than the command line?

The other question is how do I perform cold backups of applications? As I
understand it I can use backup start & stop scripts which will force the
application to shutdown prior to backup and then resume after? Does anyone
have any examples for Inktomi or Oracle?

I am also looking for alternatives for tape backup. At the moment we perform
full backup's everynight. We use a lot of tapes per week and I am curious to
see if anyone has implemented backups to disk etc?

Thanks,

Tim.
